Shipping Your Premium Teas: What You Need to Know

Water Over Leaves packages your tea to order. It takes two business days for us to process and ship your order, however we will always send it out earlier if possible. You will receive an email confirmation with tracking information.

We offer free pickup at our tea studio in Six Mile, and offer free delivery to Nelson and the North Shore. Please allow two to three days for deliveries, however we will deliver as soon as we possibly can, and occasionally even the same day.

We offer a $12 flat rate shipping fee for packages sent anywhere in Canada, and free shipping for orders over $90. Packages are shipped via Canada Post or UPS. Standard package delivery times are two business days for local mail, three business days within BC, and four days for national mail. Please note that shipping times and delays may change without notice. Expedited shipping options are available at checkout.

We now offer shipping to the USA for a flat fee of $12. Delivery fees may change without notice. Additional fees may be encured by customs

When selecting your shipping method at checkout, please keep in mind that the stated transit time for your order is an estimate. Shipping estimates do not include the order processing time of 1-3 business days. Once we release packages to Canada Post or UPS, all responsibility of its safe and timely arrival is transferred to the shipping company. If an order is lost, we can assist you in tracking your package. We are not responsible in replacing a package that is lost or stolen in the mail when shipping confirmations have been obtained.

We cannot guarantee delivery timelines as mail carriers across Canada and the US are continuing to experience delays. These delays are beyond our control. 

For updates on your shipment, please check your order confirmation email for the tracking details and follow up with the carrier. 

We do not offer shipping cost refunds for shipping delays, incorrectly provided addresses or packages marked delivered but not received. 

If a shipment is returned to us un-delivered, you will have the option to be refunded for the product (minus the original shipping fee) or we can reship the order to a new address. Re-shipping your order to a new address will incur a shipping fee

If you refuse the delivery of your package, the shipping fee associated with the return of the package to Water Over Leaves will be deducted from the total cost of your order refund. 

At this time we do not ship internationally. We apologize for this inconvenience.

Lost, Stolen, or Damaged Products

Water Over Leaves Tea Company will not be liable for any loss, damages or expenses due to shipping. Title and risk of loss is passed to the customer once the order is transferred to the third-party shipping service provider.

For Canadian customers, if a package is lost or arrives damaged, Water Over Leaves will be happy to place a claim with Canada Post or Fedex on your behalf.
